Affected Sectors

How to read this

Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.

Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.

Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.

Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.

Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.

CBO Cost Estimates

Official Congressional Budget Office cost estimate links associated with this bill through Congress.gov records.

How to read this

CBO estimates are official source documents with their own assumptions, scope, and publication dates. They can score a bill, a version of a bill, or a broader legislative package.

LawLinter stores the source link from Congress.gov and does not replace the CBO document. Use these cards as pointers for source review, not as independent fiscal advice.

CBO context shows source-attributed Congressional Budget Office cost estimates linked from official Congress.gov bill records. It is research context only; read the official CBO source document for assumptions, scope, and dates.

No CBO cost estimate is currently linked for this bill.

Campaign Finance Context

Related FEC/OpenFEC campaign-finance records for lawmakers and candidates tied to this bill through source-attributed legislative relationships. These are not donations to the bill itself.

How to read this

Amounts shown here are campaign-finance totals for sponsor or cosponsor-linked candidates and their committees in the displayed FEC cycle.

They are not donations to this bill, spending on this bill, or proof that money influenced or caused sponsorship, cosponsorship, votes, or legislative outcomes.

If multiple linked lawmakers have FEC records, this section can show multiple candidate cards and separate sponsor/cosponsor rollups.

Campaign-finance context uses source-attributed FEC/OpenFEC records that are related or relevant to the displayed bill, lawmaker, candidate, committee, or legislative relationship through deterministic links. It is research context only, not proof of influence, causation, endorsement, or that money caused a sponsorship, vote, or legislative outcome.

No FEC/OpenFEC campaign-finance context is currently linked for this bill.

Lobbying Context

Related LDA.gov filings where public lobbying activity descriptions reference this bill. These records are source-attributed research context, not evidence of influence or causation.

How to read this

LDA filings are public lobbying disclosure records. LawLinter links them here only when the filing activity text contains an exact-looking reference to this bill.

A filing can mention many issues, clients, agencies, or bills. A match should be treated as a pointer for review, not as a conclusion about why legislation changed or how any lawmaker acted.

Lobbying context uses source-attributed LDA.gov records that appear related to this bill through bill references in public lobbying activity descriptions. It is research context only, not proof of influence, causation, endorsement, lobbying effectiveness, or legislative intent.

No LDA.gov lobbying disclosure context is currently linked for this bill.

Summary

00 Introduced in House Nov 4, 2026

Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act This bill expedites the process of reviewing certain uncontested permits and licenses for nuclear power plants (e.g., construction permits and operating licenses) by removing a requirement for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to hold a public hearing at the end of the process. The bill applies to the licenses and permits if a hearing has not been requested by a person whose interest may be affected. The bill also directs the NRC to use informal adjudicatory procedures if such a hearing is held. Additionally, the bill directs the NRC to hold an adjudicatory hearing regarding the licensing of the construction and operation of a uranium enrichment facility only if the person whose interest may be affected by such construction and operation has requested the hearing.
